volume so as to avoid excessive

levels, as hearing damage may

result.

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made

with high-precision technology and

99.99% or more of the pixels are

effective, black dots may appear or

bright points of light (red, blue, or

green) may appear constantly on the

LCD screen. This is a structural

property of the LCD screen and is not

a malfunction.

or place objects on top of this TV set.

The image may be uneven or the LCD

screen may be damaged.

• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a

smear may occur in the picture or the

picture may become dark. This does

not indicate a failure. These

phenomena disappear as the

pictures are displayed continuously.

It may disappear after a few

moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm

when this TV set is in use. This is not

a malfunction.

alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring

powder, or volatile solvent, such as

alcohol, benzene, thinner or

insecticide. Using such materials or

maintaining prolonged contact with
